TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTSMAY COME:

Be it known'that I, WILLIAM W. S. ORBETQN, of Bradford, in. the county of Essex, and State of Massaollusetts, have invented a; new and useful or improved Brazier or Culinary Apparatus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part thereof.

Of such drawingsi Figure is a side elevation. of the said apparatus as prepared for baking purposes.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. i

Figure 3 is a top view of the body of the brazier with the other parts removed.

Figure 4 is a top view of the annular register and supporter-plate. i

Figure 5 is an edge view of the same.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the adjusting-ring to be hereinafter described.

iiigurer 7 is a top view of the gridiron. The said apparatus is intended to be employed 'in one of the boiler-openings in the top plate of a stove or range.

The purpose of the said brazier or apparatus is to hold a charge of charcoal or other fuel in a state-of combustion, and to support over such fuel an article to be cooked or a vessel to be heated, and supply to the coal or fuel both an upward and downward current of air, whereby a better and more active combustion of the fuel than is ordinarily attained is effected.

i In the drawings, A denotesthe bodyvof the brazier, whose general form is that of a frustum of a cone.

The bottom of the brazier is provided with a series of air-inlets, a a, &c., and such brazier has a flange, b, 40r annular shelf ex tending around its tcp. -V

There is also a series of air-inducts or downward ilues, B B, te., extending from the flange '6, and down into the interior orfuel-chamber of the'brazier, as seen in figs. 2 and 3, the mouths of the downward flues being disposed above the top surface of the ange'b, asV shown in 2. l

The auxiliary air-supplying tubes or lues are of great importance, as, in case tlie lower or main draught holes may become partially choked with ashes, the former willsupply the fuel with the requisite amount of air to support combustion. Each of the said auxiliary ductslmay have one or more holes formed in it to open into the fuel-chamber, .and thereby give a more equable distribution of air to the fuel thereinf By the employment of the auxiliary thea-.constructed as described, the cold lair flowing through them does not come iu'contact l with the sides lof the kettle, so as to cool the same, but passes directly into the llame.

i regulated at pleasure.

Furthermore, the said brazier has a series of educts or discharge-openings, cc, Svc., disposed4 around the top of thc fuelfchamber, the same being for conveying the smoke, gases, Ste., into .the escape-hue of the stoveor range. I

C is an annular plate, having a flange, d, extendingdownward from it, at right angles from itstopsurface. This flange has a series of openings, e e, Ste., made in it, each of the said openings corresponding in length` and width with the mouths of the air-inducts B. The lower segmental portions ofthe said plate C rest on the top. surface of the annular shelf l. The said plate C yis so formed as to be capable of being easily rotated, so as to perform the duty of a register, whereby the amount of air passing into the mouths of the inducts B may b e` D is the cover of the brazier or apparatus', which tits into the annular 'openings d of the plate C.

E is a circular gridiron, which may also iit into the said annular opening, or rest on the top surface of the plate C, .and is to be used in the place of the cover D when' sh, steak, or other article is tobe broiled orl cooked. v V

F is a thi-n metallic hoop or baud which serves a threefold purpose, viz, when placedion the top surface of the plate C, as shown in fig. 2, it serves to form a lining to the walls of thc oven for baking, and when' the -covcr' or domefof the oven is removed, it serves to receive pots or kettles of larger size than would t into the fuel-chamber of .the brazier; and, furthermore, when the hoop is disposed underneath the ii'ange b, as .shown `in red .lines in figs. 1 and 2, it enablesthe brazier to be used in a hole in a stove -or range having a less diameter than the upper part of'the body of the brazier. Y

The dome or cover constituting the oven-chamber should be of suicient height to enable bread, of the ordinary size of abakers loaf, to be baked init, or itnray have any desirable heght.- I

My-said apparatus may be used without a stove or range, as a portable furnace for camp and out-door l purposes, as all the ordinary operations otwboiling, baking, and broiling can be carried on by it, and with great economy in the use of fuel. p

My improved brazier has been tested, and found to be of great practical value for the purposes for which it isintended. `It is specially adapted for use in the summer season, when it is desirable to have as little heat generated in the house as possible, while at the same time it effectsv the greatest practical economy in the use of the fuel. I I

I claim the improved brazier, as constructed with the main air-supply openings a a, Snc., the auxiliary air- -induct's B B, Svc., and the educton-openings' e e, arranged and combined together substantially in manner and so as to operate asset forth. a y v I also claim, in combination therewith, the annular register-supporting plate C, as and for the purposes described. l v

' I also claim the combination of; the main and auxiliary air-inducts a B, `the discharge-openings c, therepot cover D,vthe annular .register and supporting-plate C, the latter having a dome or cover applied to it in i manner and for the purpose'asexplained.

I also claimthe combination of the hoop or band F with a brazier or cooking apparatus constructed in other respects substantially'as set forth, the same being for the purposes explained.
